Following an extensive £1.2m refurbishment, The Rutland has unveiled its new interiors offering for guests.
This Scottish boutique hotel, owned by the Signature Group, which also includes eateries The Huxley and Kyloe, has just been relaunched marking a pivotal moment in the regeneration of the area.
Originally built in the early 1800s, the revitalised aesthetics continue to pay homage to the building’s homeland.
Each of the hotel’s nine renovated rooms are adorned with artwork inspired by some of Scotland’s most iconic brands, design flourishes including Mulberry wallpaper and a bath butler package featuring indulgent products from Arran Aromatics.
The final touch–a fully stocked bar cart that showcases the country’s rich drinks heritage, from Edinburgh’s own Cold Town Beer and Edinburgh Gin to drams of Johnnie Walker.
Housed under the same roof, The Huxley and Kyloe have also undergone recent renovations by Birmingham based interior design company, Tibbatts Abel. LCT supplied the artwork and accessories.
Said a spokesman for LCT, “ We have worked with The Signature group and Tibbatts Design for many years, and they have always kept us on our toes! It is a pleasure to work with such creative companies who are always pushing the boundaries.
“Tibbatts Design brief us on the concept and we work closely with them to come up with the final artwork, accessories and planting scheme.
“All of the images in the Huxley were themed around Scotland and Edinburgh, we also created some bespoke ‘Bauhaus” style pieces, which worked so well with the scheme.
“In Kyloe we made a bespoke feature installation using verdigris copper pipes, the inspiration for this was ‘Cow Bells”! And we love the final result! “
Guests at The Rutland can sample the refreshed Huxley menu that celebrates Scottish classics with a touch of American soul, in revamped surroundings that seamlessly blend Retro Americana with Art Deco.
Upstairs in Kyloe, the popular gourmet menu remains unchanged, whilst reimagined interiors provide a more opulent dining experience.
Louise MacLean, Business Development Manager for Signature Pubs, said, “Each detail throughout this refurbishment has been meticulously curated to ensure an unparalleled guest experience whether dining, drinking or dreaming. We want our guests to feel relaxed, at home, and to experience affordable Scottish luxury at every touch point.
“Whether that be through our expertly curated cocktail menus, gourmet dining, amenities from brands such as GHD and Nespresso, or our ‘bath butler’ package where you can have your bath run for you whilst you relax or dine, using Arran Aromatic products.
“Whilst these three venues stand alone in their offerings, character and design, they are united in their shared vision to deliver unforgettable experiences with top level Scottish hospitality in an iconic Edinburgh location providing a well-placed offer ideal for international tourists, corporate visitors and locals alike .”
“Guests of The Rutland Hotel & Apartments, will also have soon have access to a state of the art gym. This will launch later this year. ”
